<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I am
working on a webflow scenario that integrates a process between two SAP
systems –being R/3 Enterprise and SRM 4.0. The idea is that a workflow in
started in R/3 when an invoice is held. It collects various pieces of
information then starts a corresponding workflow in SRM using a webflow
activity, and should then wait until the SRM workflow is complete. The SRM
workflow will request creation of a service confirmation to an agent. Once
this is complete, the SRM workflow ends and the R/3 workflow will continue
from there.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Because I haven’t worked with the webflow step before,
I started by just creating a simple example. In the example, an R/3 workflow
fills a container element with the value of a user-id and passes it to an SRM
workflow which sends an email to this user. A reference workflow is created
with the same container element. I just wanted to see the process working so I
know how to write up a spec for the real workflow scenario mentioned above and
be sure that it is going to work!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I
have the example working to the point where the initiating R/3 workflow
successfully sends the wf-xml message to the SRM system, which starts the SRM
workflow (passing the container value of my user-id correctly). The SRM
workflow completes ok. But before anything else can happen, the R/3 workflow
goes into error. The error message is "XML tag <ProcessInstanceKey> not
available"</SPAN></FONT><FONT size=2><SPAN lang=EN-US

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">So
it seems like the response from SRM is not being correctly formed when it
responds to the initial request from R/3.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I
found a message previously in this group which suggested that it might be an
authentication problem. I tried using an authentication rule in the header of
the SRM workflow (passing a user and password to it) but it didn’t make any
difference. Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong or what I should
check?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
